RABBETED HALF-BLIND JOINTS
Rabbeted half-blind dovetails are often used to create
drawer fronts (H) Fig. G1 that have a rabbeted (or lipped)

NOTE: Many of the steps used on the OMNIJIG
cutting other kinds of half-blind joints are also used to
cut the rabbeted half-blind joint. So, be sure to read the
previous sections, "VARIABLE HALF-BLIND JOINTS" and
"SINGLE-PASS HALF-BLIND JOINTS" before continuing
with these instructions.
